ACLUM Legal Director John Reinstein, who is one of the lawyers representing NAMBLA in the suit, acknowledged that "I think it is fair to say that most people disagree with NAMBLA and that many would find its publications offensive. Regardless of whether people agree with or abhor NAMBLA's views, holding the organization responsible for crimes committed by others who read their materials would gravely endanger important First Amendment freedoms." WTHeck?
But they can hold right-wing-talk-radio responsible for Tim McVeigh and all the rest?
That's the biggest load of BS I have heard all day. Of course, it's still pretty early here so I expect more will be coming.

If you yell 'fire' in a crowded theatre (when there is no fire), and someone gets hurt in the stampede, are you not liable? I feel NAMBLA is responsible for their literature just like Islamist Immams are responsible for preaching hatred of the west. It is sad that these whining liberals get so much attention while the majority view seems to count for nothing. Is this aparthied?
